When asked what piece of advice he would give to his younger self he said, “To have a good attitude about things, don’t be so hard on yourself, just keep working and if something isn’t going your way just take it with a grain of salt because good things come to those who wait.” Each week, 2nd MLG recognizes one outstanding Marine or Sailor that goes above and beyond in their duties and embodies the qualities of an outstanding service member.
